Elk antler overlays. Which glue?
« on: January 30, 2009, 05:40:48 pm »
Ive only used hard wood overlays and it seems tite bond 3, super glue, and epoxy work well. I was wondering if tite bond 3 or super glue gell would be ok for antler. Im guessing the answer is yes but I gotta ask to avoid problems ;)

I like two-ton epoxy, I've used gel superglue too a couple times.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Huh!! I never gave that a thought. I just used TBII on one of my earlier bows becuz that was what I had on hand. Shot it for a few years and the tips were still on just fine when I gave it to a Bear Hunting friend of mine last year.  He still shoots it as is.

Shoot low fellas, the bad guys are ridin ponies.

I use super glue or epoxy for all my overlays... wood, antler, bone, or horn.
